Green Il Co. S report on cotton futures SAYS:
Cotton contracts have been handled lightly,
and there was not much in the market, except
a little at first prices, dropped off, but as the
decline drew out some to cover on August a re-
action followed, all months participating. AS
soon, as buyers Were done, however, the cost
settled back even lower than before, with the
close at about the lowest or 3 to points below
last evening. 1t is noticeable, however, that u
great deal of quiet persistent buying seems to
take a large amount of cotton on every break,
and the two first fall months were noticeable as
securing considerable demand Nothing new
came from the South, and Liverpool was with
out change. But more accounts came from
Manchester"
